XP SP3 is not listed in Update

Why isn't SP3 not listed when I run Windows Update?

I know that I don't have it-I do have XP SP2-it's listed in properties. I
don't have any hidden updated either. I haveXP Home and IE6.
Thanks!

Research I was doing in relation to another problem of yours (cf.
http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=37650) leads me to ask if you
might have WinXP SP2 installed on a Mac?
